An integrated account of joint action
Without joint action, man’s cultural, scientific and everyday achievements would be unthinkable. What special cognitive abilities make it possible for this to happen so often and in so many ways? Dancing, waging war, building a castle together in the sandbox - joint action is a central component of everyday life and the success of mankind. This ability is based on special socio-cognitive abilities, the scope and interplay of which characterize the human species. Literature often focuses on the large and complex forms of joint action.
This book represents an attempt to present a philosophical reconstruction of joint action through an interdisciplinary investigation of small forms with few actors. This is suitable for explaining the behavior of children and adults, as well as for taking into account empirical results from related disciplines, especially developmental psychology.

A particularly thorough investigation of these examples from early sociology can be found in the writings of

The goal of this dissertation was to give an outline of an account of joint action that is accessible for young children and, at the same time, suited to account the proposal that participation in episodes of joint action fosters socio-cognitive development in children. My investigation began

Until now, the analysis presented in this thesis has shown rather negative results when it comes to theoretical frameworks of acting together. The starting point for the investigation at hand were those theories that suggest that the development of socio-cognitive abilities is fostered by

ground Recently, there have been several attempts to determine the onset of common ground in childhood in several experimental designs. Tomasello and Haberl (2003) investigated whether toddlers could interpret an adult’s ambiguous request based on prior events. In their study, the researchers

Hence, it seems worthwhile to consider this proposal and investigate its philosophical underpinnings. The most

While this surely is a worthwhile discourse, a thorough investigation of this matter goes beyond the scope of this thesis. 10 Nevertheless, Tuomela’s reasoning when it
